I recently bought a few cans of Wellness Core,since my cats are getting a little blase with the regular Wellness.
They love the Core,but it says it has extra protein??
Is that bad for Vinnie who needs to lose weight,or for Chico who could use some extra weight??

Kathryn,I have no Core left to compare with,only bought a couple of cans to try,but since they liked it I wanted to buy some more.
Right now,I have Wellness,Merrick,Natural Balance and Holistic Select in the cupboard none of which these pampered felines eat with gusto

Lol, I feel like I am the only one with cats that eat like dogs?? The only thing recently I've found them to not want to eat is Wellness Trout & Salmon flavor in the yellow can. I think maybe I got a bad batch though, because I have two cases and when I had grabbed a can from the one case they LOVED it, but when my mom restacked the cases of canned food the other day the unopened case made its way to the top and I have tried 2 cans out of there and both times the cats, all 13 insides and 5 or 6 outside turned their nose up to it So it ended up being possum food.. I'm taking it back to work today and telling them they should send it back for a new case.

anyways

Not any major differences. You're better off with SCM reading this stuff off to you though

Yes Kathryn,I see what you mean,thank's!
When I feed them a variety of foods,they will eat the Wellness,but only the Turkey/Salmon,Turkey and the Chicken.
It's no big deal,I just wondered about the Wellness Core,but it seems ok and only 10 cents/can more.
